Donbass Arena

The Donbass Arena is a stadium in Donetsk, Ukraine that was opened on 29 August 2009. The arena is located in the Lenin Comsomol Park in central Donetsk, and it had a capacity of 52,518 spectators. The arena hosts FC Shakhtar Donetsk, and it hosted some matches of the UEFA Euro 2012 competition. On 22 August 2014, during the Donbass War, the arena was damaged by artillery shelling as the Ukrainian army clashed with the Donetsk People's Republic's militia. All Shakhtar games were moved to Lviv in the west before moving to the Metalist Stadium in Kharkiv in 2017, while the club's headquarters was shifted to the capital of Kiev.
